Lyme Disease Treatment: Herbs

As an extremely complex disease with different manifestations depending on the infected individual, there are myriad new treatments, many of which are only now beginning to be known by the general public.

In some cases, herbs are actually also noted as being just as effective (and in some cases more effective) in acting as antimicrobials as traditionally prescribed antibiotic drug regimes as well (in addition to their ability to treat the symptoms of the disease.)
